In 2015, Emmaus House partnered with Literacy Action to enroll parents in our Homework Relief Bootcamp. The program utilized a two-generation approach to fostering literacy, helping children AND parents achieve greater success in the classroom and in the workplace.

The Homework Relief Bootcamp is no longer active, although the spirit of multigenerational education lives on in programs like Families on the Move (FOTM) and Freedom School. To learn more about this and other milestones in Emmaus House's history, visit: emmaushouseatlanta.org/history

For those living without a fixed address, accessing opportunities can be a challenge. Most job applications require you to list a mailing address. So do applications for benefits, housing, voter registration, vehicle registration, and more. The Lokey Help Center provides temporary mail services for our residents and neighbors in transition.

We recently opened enrollment for this year’s Freedom School program (which will take place June 15 - July 24) and were quickly overwhelmed by the response. Within days, we had received far more applications than we can accommodate. We’re currently exploring ways to expand the program’s capacity, but, as of this time, enrollment is currently closed.

To learn more about this vital program and potentially help us expand its capacity, please visit: emmaushouseatlanta.org/cdf-freedom-school
